In this book I have included what I teach, which is what I practice,
which is the driving force behind the writing of this material. It is my
personal confirmation of the power we, you and I, inherently possess.
This is the power from the one source in which we all share, our power
of thought. From thought we create our; desire, purpose, intention,
belief, faith, and action.
If your life is not going well, this is a good indication that your
belief, your philosophy, may not be all that is best for you. It was fine in
that it got you this far in life. But your personal evolution may have
become stagnant. Or maybe you’ve just been miserable for a long time
and now you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. Perhaps it's just
time for a change, little or big, it's time.
If your are doing well in one area of your life and not so well in others,
if you are doing great and you wish even more out of life, it is my
belief that the material in this book and others like it, will, in time and
with practice, help you to bring about all that you desire in life.
I have tried to make this book as concise as possible. There are some
examples and quotes that I felt I could not leave out. Examples and even
long drawn out explanations are at times just necessary for teaching and
setting a foundation.
For example: “Ask, believing, and you shall receive.” If you can
understand and except this statement to be true, if you are using it to
attain all of your desires and goals, then you don’t need to read any further.
Unless of course you are like me and you just want to keep your mind centered and refreshed on this subject. This is probably the predominant
reason that I keep studying. Yes, I continue to seek out lecturers
and I continue to read the works of other authors as well.
There are great amounts of people, in this country and all over the
world, suffering, miserable, or living discontented lives. I’ve chosen to
avoid that path. I’ve chosen to help where I can. I feel that I cannot
emphasize this next point enough. I am writing to confirm that the
legacy of these following concepts are at work for me. This information left to
us from past generations, has helped millions of people all over the world to
prosper and will continue to help others as well.
I have divided the material in this book into sections of discussion.
The first section, and I feel the most important, is about understanding
and building a strong philosophical and psychological foundation that
works. Philosophy is the study of life; search for truth, in any subject.
Psychology is the study of the workings of the mind, the study of psyche,
the soul or spirit.
Next is a brief section using a formal step-by-step method of goal
setting. This section is intended to help you formulate a clear idea of
what you desire to achieve.
The third section is about developing a circle of influence. It is a discussion
on the importance of creating a network of friends and business
associates.
Following that is a discussion on affirmations. Affirmations are the
internal dialog that is the basis for all success. Daily affirmations help
you hold, maintain and guide you toward your visions, your goals. As
with prayer, affirmations are a working method used for thousands of
years to purposefully communicate with your subconscious mind, your
Higher Self.
I have included in this book a short autobiography, should you be
interested in knowing a little bit about me, a summary of facts that are
brought out in this book, and a meditation exercise that I use.
In my section of acknowledgment and appreciation to those wonderful
writers and teachers who have carried on the message of the
legacy, I have included their names and their book titles of which I have
studied and enjoyed. Again, of course I have added a few more titles in
this expanded edition. The study of these books has brought within me
peace and a working knowledge of the process for achieving success.
Moreover, these writings have given me a new perspective on concepts that I have heard of all my life, but that had little or no meaning for me
until now. My hope is that along with this book, they may do the same
for you as they have for me and more.
